This should come with a code to download Worms Revolution Extreme, Velocity Ultra and OlliOlli, hardly a deal-maker but a nice bonus.

I'm pretty sure they said it'll be bundled with a DS3 controller but is compatible with DS4 controllers

It is bundled with a DS3 in Japan and the US, but AFAIK it won't be over here.

Yes. Though your network has to be up to the job. If you have a Vita, it works exactly the same as that.

I'm sure they'd be happy to cram it in the box for you.

I don't understand how remote play would be useful for this? The os4 will already need to be connected to the tv anyway.

This the vita tv only with no controller btw.

It's a brilliant bit of kit, I've had mine a while now and the latest update added uk psn account support, just waiting for the store to update now.

If you don't uderstand how this is useful for remote play then I don't think this is for you.

It's a way to connect the PS4 to a different TV in a different room.

You connect the PS TV to another monitor, e.g. upstairs, and if u have a ps4 for example in your living room downstairs, you can stream and play ps4 games upstairs to the PS TV as if u had the PS4 upstairs.

Is that actually being released in the UK though?

I've not seen any word on them, and the last i heard Sony had unofficially confirmed that there'd be no bundles for the UK launch.

it's too bad this still has HDCP...I would have bought it if it didn't

12th Oct 2014

games will only stream at 720p and 30fps though so it will be like playing an xbox one

12th Oct 2014

One thing to note is that some Vita games are not playabale due to reliance on touchpad (despite the fact the DS4 has a touch pad). So think of that if you are buying it to play the Vita library.

Going to save myself £80 for now and carry ps4 upstairs if needed.

Maybe after Xmas price drop.

or stream the ps4 to your mobile phone and connect that to your tv using a mhl cable

12th Oct 2014

I know you can connect your Vita memory card to this as long as the PSN account is the same but would it be more beneficial to have an extra Vita memory card just for this device so you don't have to keep swapping them over?

12th Oct 2014

Just a shame the ps4 is rubbish as a media centre.

Have you tried any Vita games on it yet? How do they look on the big screen? I'm tempted by this as I think some Vita games would play great on the telly.

Yeah loads of games, It's hit and miss, persona golden looks great but need for speed most wanted is a bit blocky, I'm running it on my 23 inch monitor at the moment, not tried it on the big screen yet.

Persona was one of the games I was thinking of :), sweet. Not too fussed about NFS as I have it on the PS3 as well. Lemme know if you get a chance to try Dragon's crown.

12th Oct 2014

Can you vita games on this using the vita as a controller? ie, could I played uncharted golden abyss on my TV with this, and using the vita as normal?

I can't imagine any vita games don't use either the touch screen, rear pad, or both, so how could you play a vita game with a DS3?

12th Oct 2014

I had one of these on pre-order paid off at ShopTo but I decided not to and just grabbed a VITA, I mean it does everything a VITA does and can't even run all the games. If I wanted to stream I would rather do it in bed from my VITA, and I wanna play all the games for the platform not just a select few with support.

12th Oct 2014

Any news of subscription prices for streaming ps3 games? My ps3 is used as a multimedia machine anyway as it's got all the options of iplayer, 4OD, Netflix etc. Sony could be on a winner here if they sell it as a multimedia box like say Apple TV or the now TV box.

seeing as these have a usb port. can they play .mkvs? like a wdtv live
